With a 16” screen laptop you get ample viewing space for those times you’re at your desk doing work yet the laptop’s weight is still low enough, at around 6lbs, that it’s quite easy to carry around in a backpack on campus. For those shopping for this 16″ screen size laptop, the dv6t is one of the more compelling multimedia class notebooks out there. The price for a budget configuration dv6t starts at a mere $780 at the time of this writing. However, if you desire a more powerful laptop with dedicated Nvidia 9200 graphics, a fast 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo processor and speedy 7200RPM hard drive then you can configure the dv6t as such and pay the higher price. No matter how you configure the Pavilion dv6t you still get the same great looks and quality build that will be discussed further in this review.

Note that at the time of purchase there was a special $250 off HP coupon code for any Pavilion notebook customized over $899. The final price of $579.99 for this configuration is exceedingly good, you can still find similar deals from HP and it especially pays to wait for a good coupon code.
Design and Looks
The Pavilion dv6t comes with an Onyx black color lid which is very attractive and provides a sleek look. The lid has a subtle mesh inlaid design and a glossy finish which is appealing to look at but a fingerprint magnet (HP mercifully provides a fiber cloth to clean the lid). The keyboard area has a silver metallic finish and is also slightly glossy in nature, though not to the extent that it will pick up fingerprints. The display area of the dv6t is again black and glossy like the lid.
